From the spa resort of La Léchère, head towards Notre-Dame-de-Briançon, then take the N90 towards Albertville, until exit 36. Cross the village, pass in front of the Feissons town hall. At the end of the street, at the stop sign, turn right and take the small road in the forest to the Château de Feissons.
From the Feissons-sur-Isère castle car park, follow the road on a short descent to reach the forest path at the place called "Les Côtes". An engraved stone (630 m) is located at the edge of the path, the engraving of which was made on June 22, 1815 by the Austrians. Continue on the shaded path towards the hamlet of Grand Glaize (1040 m) through a forest of century-old beech trees.
Arriving at the hamlet, a belvedere offers a view of the Grande Maison valley. Continue on a clear path to reach the Tillet cabin (1140 m). After this point, continue the loop which plunges back into the forest until “Sur le Tillet” (1168 m). Turn left and go towards the hamlets of "Le Mont" (70 m) passing through "Planchamp" (840 m).
Pass under a penstock where the view is clear to observe the foothills of the Lauzière massif. Walk past the two hamlets and continue on the forest path towards the Château de Feissons. Complete the loop by passing the road for the last few meters.
